QUINOA SUSHI

When some one asks me what my favourite food is I always say Sushi, Im a big fan! But since starting to eat Paleo the typical sushi which I loved became a no-no... it is my personal goal to find alternatives that are equal or better than the original food! This is my modern Paleo version of sushi. Once you try this you may never go back to classic sushi made with sticky rice. I must say that quinoa sushi is more tasty than the regular~! Not to mention its healthier and Paleo friends too!
